Solution

The correct option is A True
Yes, the statement is true.
Friction introduces losses and decreases efficiency since friction generates heat which is an energy that can not be converted in movement. That energy in the form of heat is a loss. Also friction increases the wear and tear of a machine thereby decreasing its efficiency.
